Top Democrats warned President Trump on Friday that using a GOP-drafted memo as pretext to fire Justice Department officials could spark a constitutional crisis.

House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) penned a scathing letter to the commander-in-chief warning him against dismissing deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein or interfering with special counsel Robert Mueller's probe.
